Method Detail

merge

public static org.apache.jena.shared.PrefixMapping merge(org.apache.jena.shared.PrefixMapping pm1,
                                                         org.apache.jena.shared.PrefixMapping pm2)

Return a read-only merge of two prefix mappings

expandQuery

public static String expandQuery(String query,
                                 org.apache.jena.shared.PrefixMapping pm)

Expand a SPARQL query by prefixing it will all possibly relevant mappings from the given prefix mapping

commonPrefixes

public static org.apache.jena.shared.PrefixMapping commonPrefixes()

Return a set of commonly used RDF prefixes. This includes the Jena standard mapping (rdf:, owl:, etc) and prefixes for all of the vocabularies defined in epimorphics-lib.

Returns:

A prefix mapping object

See Also:

commonPrefixes(PrefixMapping)

asPrefixes

public static org.apache.jena.shared.PrefixMapping asPrefixes(String... declarations)

Utility for easily declaring a prefix mapping in code. The arguments are assumed to be pairs of strings, alternating prefix and URI.

Parameters:

declarations - Alternating prefix and URI strings

Returns:

A new PrefixMapping containing only the prefixes declared

Throws:

EpiException - if the declarations are not in pairs

commonPrefixes

public static org.apache.jena.shared.PrefixMapping commonPrefixes(String... additional)

Return a set of commonly used RDF prefixes. This includes the Jena standard mapping (rdf:, owl:, etc) and prefixes for all of the vocabularies defined in epimorphics-lib. This variant also allows additional prefixes to be declared in code as alternating prefix and uri strings.

Parameters:

additional - Array of String objects denoting, alternately, a prefix and a URI

Returns:

A prefix mapping object

See Also:

commonPrefixes(PrefixMapping)

commonPrefixes

public static org.apache.jena.shared.PrefixMapping commonPrefixes(org.apache.jena.shared.PrefixMapping additional)

Return a set of commonly used RDF prefixes. This includes the Jena standard mapping (rdf:, owl:, etc) and prefixes for all of the vocabularies defined in epimorphics-lib.

Parameters:

additional - Optional additional prefixes to merge into the common core, or null

Returns:

A prefix mapping object

asTurtlePrefixes

public static String asTurtlePrefixes(org.apache.jena.shared.PrefixMapping pm)

Return the contents of the given prefix mapping, formatted for prepending onto Turtle content.

Parameters:

pm -

Returns:

asSparqlPrefixes

public static String asSparqlPrefixes(org.apache.jena.shared.PrefixMapping pm)

Return the contents of the given prefix mapping, formatted for prepending onto a SPARQL query.

Parameters:

pm -

Returns:

asPrefixString

public static String asPrefixString(org.apache.jena.shared.PrefixMapping pm,
                                    boolean turtle)
